Question Which of these two Asus mobos should I choose ?

[mahmoudkito]

Which of these two mobos should I get to pair with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, and which one has better overclocking performance and capabilities?

• Asus Rog Strix B850-E Gaming WiFi
• Asus Rog Strix x870-A Gaming WiFi

They are both the same price in my country so which one should I choose?

Either which one will get the job done though IMHO, I'd opt away from Asus since they tend to be hit or miss. If you could find something from MSI's Tomahawk range, that would be a worthwhile investment.

capabilities
What is your definition of capabilities ? It'd be a good idea to state what you're looking for in your motherboard besides mentioning overclocking.

And also they are on the same price in my country so which one should I choose
Where is this country on the Atlas?

Capabilities such as audio and surround sound and stability while overclocking and overall better sofware
But the MSI x870 tomahawk has 14+2+1 power phases and asus has better vrm and better audio output

Motherboards are a personal choice - their looks, and the set of features you want or need from one.

Onboard audio - they're all using Realtek audio processors. Asus has that 'SupremeFX' advertised on some of their boards, but it's just Realtek; all they did was change the name... in the case of the 2 Asus boards and the Tomahawk, all 3 are using the ALC 4080 codec.
GPUs also have audio processing - may, or may not be on par with motherboard's though.

VRM: VRMs on many boards are overkill these days, and most folks appear to be going the way of applying negative Curve Optimizer offsets for their cpus instead of trying to overclock(technically, making adjustments in Curve Optimizer is overclocking too). The goal? Lowering temperatures while trying to sustain the cpu's original performance(and maybe a little extra).

Software's hit or miss. Some is handy and works properly, some of it is bloat, and some of the misses are due to being broken by Windows...

And also they are on the same price in my country so which one should I choose

The one you think looks the best. But, if you've taken the time to look through the product pages for both boards, figured out what features you want, what's extra baggage... then pick the one that checks the most boxes.
